You never know

This is an amazing story of a firefighter, Donald Herbert, who spent the last 10 years brain damaged makes a miraculous recovery.

Mr. Herbert's is a wonderful story (good thing his wife didn't give up hope on him and starve him) and it goes to prove one thing - for all the research and advancement the medical profession has seen over the last several years, we still lack full understanding of how the brain works. We can make educated guesses and presumptions all we want, but the brain is still a mystery.
